About this spot
El Calafate offers an extraordinary high-altitude kiting experience on Patagonian lakes set against a backdrop of glaciers and mountains. The winds here can be exceptionally strong and gusty, typical of the Southern Patagonian climate.
This is a spot for experienced riders who appreciate dramatic landscapes and cold-water adventures. The environment is raw and remote, requiring proper thermal gear and a focus on safety in the powerful South American winds.
